" In this work we have the tirst results of Dr. Hooker's botanical mission 



to India. The announcement is calculated to startle some of our readers when 



they know that it was only last January twelvemonths that the Doctor arrived 



in Calcutta. That he should have ascended the Himalaya, discovered a num- 



l ber of plants, and that they should be published in England in an almost 



\ uNEauALLED STYLE OF MAGNiPiCENT ILLUSTRATION, in Icss than eighteen 



< mouths — is one of the marvels of our time." — Atlienceum. \
